Fix gdb.base/attach.exp fails when gdb is configured --with-sysroot=/

I see some test fails in gdb.base/attach.exp when gdb is configured
--with-sysroot=/.

FAIL: gdb.base/attach.exp: attach2, with no file
FAIL: gdb.base/attach.exp: load file manually, after attach2 (re-read) (got interactive prompt)
FAIL: gdb.base/attach.exp: attach when process' a.out not in cwd

If gdb is configured this way, sysroot is "/" in default, and if binfile
is a absolute path, the regexp pattern $sysroot$escapedbinfile is
incorrect.

There are different ways to fix it, but I don't want to complicate the
test, so I choose this naive way.

	* gdb.base/attach.exp (do_attach_tests): Set sysroot to
	"\[^\r\n\]*".
